I'm on the DVR.

I get a beer out early in the first quarter, but don't open it, as I wanted the Jazz to have a lead.

They don't have a lead until late in the 3rd! Lol. 73-70. Finally it was time to open it.

Nice to see Jingles playing well.

Way too many turnovers by everyone in the first half. Good 3rd quarter so far.

Mitchell might be better than someone like CJ McCollum, right now.

Mitchell is explosive, efficient, and good.

It's hard to find someone with all 3 qualities.

I'm glad the team found a way to use him properly.

Mitchell to Gobert for the slam! 104-103.

When am I going to hear pre-series and mid-series thoughts from @MHSL82?

Going to Overtime.

There's a lot I want to say.

There's a lot I hope I don't have to say.

I think the bubble format helps both Utah and Denver, since neither team is a good home playoffs team.

I know @MHSL82 likes high individual assists.

Will he like 32 team assists, and only 6 turnovers, in a 19 point win, in the playoffs?

What about today's 27 assists, 10 turnovers, and a 37 point win, in the playoffs?

4 players with 4+ assists in game 3.

3 players with 4+ assists in game 2.

3 players with 6+ assists in game 2.

(Not a typo, I just wanted to repeat the same sentence structure, in the middle sentence, as the first sentence).

When the 8 second violation happened in game 1, I thought history had repeated itself.

The Clippers lost a close game 5 against Phoenix when Cassell committed an 8 second violation in 2006.

0:36.2 S. Cassell enters the game for J. Singleton 101-101
0:31.0 Turnover by Team (8 sec) 101-101

Jazz need to play better defense. This trading baskets thing isn't working.

This is why the Jazz never win series in 5 games or less.

They're not getting blown out, but they're not getting stops.

I'm glad Juwan Morgan defended the last play before halftime.

It's looking like whichever team can get stops will win the game.

81-87.

I am happy.

Thoughts on Conley? It looks like he's found how to play off of Mitchell.

I know, @MHSL82 wishes Conley would get more assists.

But with the way the Jazz play best, the offense runs through Mitchell, then Jingles.

So Conley's best fit on this team is as a 3-point shooter, and he's good at it. He's always been a good shooter.

Sure, I'd like him to make plays like he did in Memphis, but Mitchell has spent years trying to become a playmaker, and it's finally clicking, so don't disrupt that.

Sure, I could point out a missed free throw by Mitchell, or how I wish they had gotten more stops in the 4th.

But they had a good 3rd, and had a good offensive performance, and are up 3-1.

So I'm happy.

Although, it would have been cool if they had won by 10+. Because I'm not sure if the Jazz have ever had 3 straight playoffs victories by double digits. Maybe another time.

Now close it out in 5.

The Jazz had 0 blocks and 2 steals?

Lol.

That has to change, if they are to win.

14 assists and 10 turnovers would normally be bad, but they shot 57.5% from the field, and 14-29 on 3's, so whatever they were doing, worked for this game.

The Nuggets only had 2 steals and 4 blocks.

4 combined steals and 4 combined blocks. This might be the worst defensive game I've ever seen.
